Paul, I was wondering about your transport/DAC combo.
There is another thread here where Kijanki talks about using Airport Express with optical cable connected to the Benchmark DAC1. Now to me that is pretty simple. Of course my DAC only has SPDIF input. I may have to give the Benchmark a whirl.
Luckily CES starts Thrursday and since I live 8 miles West of the Venetian and Flamingo (THE SHOW) I'll be able to get some more of my questions answered this week. What I have determined so far is that USB is not the answer and unfortunately firewire is being phased out by Mac (otherwise the Weiss Minerva would be very attractive to me). There are some good things said about wireless and ethernet, but then like all the other options, sorting out the hardware is another matter altogether. The Olive HD is nice, so is the Zero One. Unfortunately with the Zero One you can't stream, the Olive can. For $2k it may be a viable option.
Think I'll go spin a disc now.
